InDesign

The following indesign script searches full-width alphabets and numerals and converts them to half-width, but is way too low. Any suggestions for performance improvement?(function () {if (!app.documents.length) {alert("No document is open.");return;}app.doScript(main, ScriptLanguage.JAVASCRIPT, undefined, UndoModes.ENTIRE_SCRIPT, "Convert Full-width Alphanumeric Characters");function main() {// Settings dialogvar dialog = app.dialogs.add({ name: "Convert Full-width Alphanumerics to Half-width" });with (dialog.dialogColumns.add()) {staticTexts.add({ staticLabel: "Please select the type of characters to convert:" });var typeGroup = radiobuttonGroups.add();with (typeGroup) {radiobuttonControls.add({ staticLabel: "Alphabet only"});radiobuttonControls.add({ staticLabel: "Numbers only" });radiobuttonControls.add({ staticLabel: "Both alphabets and numbers", checkedState: true });}with(dialogRows.add()) staticTexts.add({ staticLabel: "" });with(dialogRows.add()) staticTexts.add({ staticLabel:

In our newsletter we often run tables, and the formatting is the same; only the data itself is changed. I copied a table from a past issue and pasted into the current one, and many of the cells in the new document have red ovals in them. No red ovals in the source table. Both documents have identical style sheets. I loaded the older's style sheets just to make sure..no change. What accounts for this? Is there something in my copy / paste method that changed some cells? Thank you in advance

Hello, Is there any way to have InDesign Select ALL unused Colors and Delete them automatically from ALL open documents?Best,Babs

Hi, i'm using the latest version of Indesign: And now it seems that the same images that are used throughout the document are no longer grouped in the links panel. Reveal in explorer: Same image, same location. Why?

When exporting an INDD file that contains custom master pages to IDML format, the names of the some master pages are automatically changed or replaced during the conversion process. This causes inconsistencies when reopening the IDML file, especially when working across teams or different versions of InDesign.Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there a known workaround or fix to preserve the original master page names during IDML export?In the attached files it changed from B-Col one-Rest-Odd to C-Col one-Rest-Odd, basically its prefix got changed.

Hallo, habe die aktuelle Indesign Version auf meinem Mac Mini installiert. Ich arbeite mit einem NAS auf dem ich Daten welche ich per Mail bekomme ablege. Diese importiere ich anschließend in Indesign Dokumente. Seit einiger Zeit erhalte immer wieder die Fehlermeldung welche ich per Screenshot dem Beitrag hinzufüge. Abhilfe schafft dann das Öffnen in Photoshop und speichern unter anderem Namen und Format. Ich habe mal zum testen Dateien die von diese Fehler betroffen sind in Illustrator und Photoshop geöffnet bzw. reingezogen. Dort erhalte ich keine Fehlermeldung! Woran liegt das?  

I have created a document in InDesign with paragraph styles. One paragraph format is for the listings. For the bullet points, I have created a separate font so that a tick symbol is used as a bullet point. I use Open Sans for the font behind it.If I now want to export the document as PDF X4 for the usual online printers, I get the error message “Text in this document contains one or more missing glyphs. ...”. The missing glyphs are the bullet points, which are created using a custom font.Unfortunately, I am not making any progress and do not know how to solve the problem. Does anyone know a solution so that I can export the PDF without an error message and use my own bullet points?I am using InDesign 2024 (20.0.1 x64)When I export the document as PDF X3, the error message does not appear.Thanks and regards

I exported two pdfs from indesign and it looked good, no errors or warnings. I opened it in microsoft edge and it looked good to.I opened it in Adobe Acrobat and I got an error warning box: an error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem.The preview on acrobat, though, still looked good.The issue was that when I printed it (professionally) on one pdf a bunch of right side pages were completely blank and white and the other pdf only 4 pages of 16 printed.I really need this file, any assistance will be really appreciated. 

As for MathML, it would be interesting if it were like the MT-Script pluging created by a Russian. This new MathML tool is not effective for those who work with math materials. Because we imported the word file, which already has the mathematical formulas.The fact of creating an html is not practical, nor agile.MT-Script is wonderful, it needs MathType. We were able to configure all the equations in Word, using MathType's job options, and then we exported them. In indd, using the MT-Script script, we were able to work directly in indesign.It can be used with all versions of InDesign. The Adobe team could create a plugin that could be so effective.

Hi! I'm working in an InDesign file where some illustrations are imported from an Illustrator file. This file is linked in the links tab. For some weird reason, the file suddenly says they can't open PDF. But it isn't a PDF it's an Illustrator file. And so I try to place or link my Illustrator file again, but the same pop-up that says can't open this PDF keeps coming up.  Does anybody know what's going on? Thanks!  Cheers,Han

This has been a long standing issue with InDesign over the last couple of years of releases. Using two fingers to zoom (while holding OPTION) is buggy. It does work, but barely. Most of the time when zooming out it will zoom in instead, or maybe zoom in and out rapidly. This function works just fine with the mouse.  Does anyone else experience this? I've been having this issue on multiple computers including work machines and Macs located at studios and agencies, not just limited to my own.

Hello....How do I create a container that has zig zag edges, so that when I drop my image into it. it mimics the look of a piece of cloth cut with pinking sheers? thanks 😊 

Hello, I'm working on a program and I have over 400 student names, majors, etc that I have to include. I have all the information broken out in separate columns in an Excel doc. I need for every entry to be formatted in a certain way as follows and set in mixed weights. Here is an example:First & Last Name Major Thesis Advisor:First & Last NameI also need the individual text boxes threaded between pages within the document. Is Data Merge the best approach to resolve this? And if so, how should my Excel doc be formatted? Thanks for your help! Joel 

Hi,i have a .pdf with 339 edits, most text and i though this was a great opportunity to test drive this feature.I have a 136 page layout. Editorial marked it up. and i have situations like these where it looks like the below. i click accept. and it does the edit, great, no problem...but there is a ":" hidden symbol now been added infront of whatever the edits was.why is that ":"been added?PS: this is a great feature. i have other feedback of things i noticed. i am wondering if the individual marking the .pdf files need to learn how to add comments for things to read better. i noticed display issues when they draw things on the .pdfthanksjonathan

I have a print design, A4 size in spreads, but I need a version to output as a PDF for distribution online. For the latter, I do not want spreads/facing pages.I know that I could export a PDF as single pages but I need to add headers on every page (as opposed to just one page on a spread) for the online version so the easiest thing would be to have an alternate layout.So, I create an alternate layout, make sure it's the active one I'm working on, go to document setup, deselect facing pages but - ACK! - it removes the facing pages from the orginal layout as well.I need almost idential layouts: one with spreads, one without. Is there no easy way to do this?

Hi everyone, I need a script to find text by formatting and insert Cross-references to content/Paragraph Text present in a Master page. So, all text found in the document with the formatting attribute paragraph style (e.g:) "Contents" applied must have its own cross-reference - the paragraphs in both places (in the document and master pages) match, but they're not linked. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

@Peter Kahrel , @Eugene Tyson , @Marc Autret  I'm sure this has been asked before, but I could not find a solution. I've never been able to post images to this forum. See https://github.com/Marshall-Brooks/Sandbox/issues/2 for images. I created (with help) a custom confimation script here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/autoclose-alert-message-and-custom-confirm-message/td-p/15255213 I needed the script to dynamically change size. The displayed text might be one line or 3 or 4 paragraphs when the script is called. I added the {multiline=true} parameter. See the link above for the results. If the link vanishes: var msg = win.add("statictext", undefined, message, {multiline: true});Probably works and autosizes, but the text is wrapping before it gets to half the width of the window.var msg = win.add("statictext", [5, 5, 500, 200], message, {multiline: true});Works fine, but I think the script will not

I have transferred workspaces from machine to machine numerous times. You simply copy the workspace located under User>Library>Preferences>Adobe ID>Version#>en_US>Workspaces and paste it into the same location on the new machine. Restart the program, and it should be under the workspace dropdown.This is not working for me. I have tried it multiple times and restarted the program/computer, but nothing seems to be working. Has anyone else had this issue?

Hello there, I am trying to export a Indesign file and, while everything seems normal in the process, a window pops up saying there was an error, specifically Error 18….have you ever experienced or are you currently having such an issue? Do you have any suggestion?Thanks a lot for your help, we have been struggling with this since yesterday, it’s not a matter of device nor internet connection (even tho this error seems to be related to the status of the connection, my wi-fi works well), maybe something related to our adobe account? I have no clue honestly! Let me know what you think, have a lovely day! E. 

Hi everyone... here I am with another strange request.When I work on a project with a few pages, I create it with single pages and then I place them side by side leaving 1 cm of space between them, so I can see the result at a glance.But if I have a complex project with many pages, I create it using the side by side pages option. But there is a problem, when I export for printing, the page elements on the edges overlap and create problems.My question is this: can a document with side by side pages be dismantled and the pages separated, but leaving them on the same plane? The separation must only move the right and left pages away from each other along the horizontal axis.I leave an example image.I tried some scripts but they don't work
